| description | This article deals with female domestic workers in Bolivia, which are mostly Indigenous, and their struggle for rights during the neoliberal period. It reveals the resistance they encountered in the parliament among politicians and female rights defenders alike, and analyzes the opposition, which was lead by a feminist parliamentary. The article brings up various theoretical debates proposed by post-colonial and anti-racist feminists, which take upon existing issues of class and race underlying the category of “women’s issues” as well as the supposed “sisterhood” that exists between all feminists. The conclusion addresses domestic workers’ rights during the first MAS administration in Bolivia, placing debates surrounding the political marginalization of Indigenous women beyond the neoliberal period. |

This article deals with female domestic workers in Bolivia, which are mostly Indigenous, and their struggle for rights during the neoliberal period. It reveals the resistance they encountered in the parliament among politicians and female rights defenders alike, and analyzes the opposition, which was lead by a feminist parliamentary. The article brings up various theoretical debates proposed by post-colonial and anti-racist feminists, which take upon existing issues of class and race underlying the category of “women’s issues” as well as the supposed “sisterhood” that exists between all feminists. The conclusion addresses domestic workers’ rights during the first MAS administration in Bolivia, placing debates surrounding the political marginalization of Indigenous women beyond the neoliberal period. Este artículo aborda las luchas de las trabajadoras asalariadas del hogar en Bolivia –indígenas en su mayoría– por el reconocimiento de sus derechos durante la etapa neoliberal. Revela la resistencia que enfrentaron en el Parlamento, tanto de la clase política, como de las instancias para la defensa de los derechos de las mujeres. Se detiene a analizar la oposición a la ley, liderada por una parlamentaria feminista. Trae a colación varios debates teóricos propuestos por las feministas postcoloniales y antirracistas desde perspectivas interseccionales, como las hegemonías de clase y raza que subyacen a la categoría “mujeres” y al feminismo mismo, o el presupuesto feminista de “hermandad” entre mujeres. Concluye con una postdata sobre el devenir de los derechos de estas trabajadoras durante el primer gobierno del MAS, proyectando los debates sobre la marginación política de las mujeres indígenas mas allá de la etapa neoliberal.
